Community service and our local paper

RAIF MARKARIAN

Local papers are often accused of attempting to boost their sales by giving a disproportionate amount of space to stories of crime, disaster, and misfortune. The coverage of items "of good report" Phil. 4:8. suffers as a consequence.

For many years such negative coverage tempted me to behave like the priest and Levite in Christ Jesus' parable of the good Samaritan and pass by "on the other side," Luke 10:31. that is, to put the paper down quickly, not to look or get involved.
